Meelo stared at the odd girl. She was very peculiar. And he had never seen her before. He knew she was a guest, but what else had his dad called her? The... Aardvark? Wait, no! It was the Amazon! Closer, but not quite right. Oh! This time he definitely had to be right! Grinning, and practically radiating a self-triumphant pride, he stalked off to find his sister.

~ Thirty-seven minutes of searching, one flying bison ride, half a dozen cookies, and one meditation session later ~

"Jinora! Jinora! Jinora!" Meelo extended his grubby, sticky hands, as if expecting a hug from his eldest sister.

"What, Meelo?" The girl hadn't even flinched, let alone pried her eyes away from her book.

"What are you reading? Wait, never mind. That's not important right now-"

"I swear, you're starting to sound more like Ikki every passing day..."

"Daddy said not to swear! But onto the important matters. We have a guest! Her name's - what was it again? I think it was...Korla? Or maybe it was Carlos or something. But she doesn't look like a Carlos. Whatever." Meelo shrugged. "Anyway, Daddy called her something. I think it was..." He paused for dramatic emphasis. Smirking with all the pride a five-year-old could muster, he announced, "She's the Appa-fart!"

"I'm sorry, what?" Jinora stared at her little brother, trying to understand how the fart of the deceased flying bison was relevant to their guest.

"The Appa-fart! Daddy said it like it was really special or something! What does that have to do with Carlos though?" Meelo smiled at Jinora, his eyes widening with every word (up to 'something'). It was as if he was expecting an answer that would allow him to reach a great enlightenment.

Instead, he got-

"That's what I'd like to know, Meelo." Sighing, Jinora returned to her novel (although it, sadly, did not contain the main protagonist jumping into a volcano for love).

And...enter Ikki.

"First of all, her name's not Carlos. It's Korra! Kor-ra!" Ikki exclaimed, grinning to herself when Jinora's ears perked up in interest. "Second of all, Daddy didn't call her the Appa-fart. Where'd you get that from anyway? She's the Magikarp! What's that, anyway? Like, a type of magical fish or something? Oh well, whatever. Wait. What does that have to do with Korra?"

Putting the book down Jinora brushed the stray strands of hair away from her face. "Her name's Korra, right?" Ikki nodded. "Alright. I think I might have read about her in the newspapers and I heard her name in some of Dad's conversations. And no. She is not an Appa-Fart or a Magikarp. Seriously. Where did you two get that from anyway?"

The two younger siblings shrugged.

Pulling her best I-Am-Not-Amused expression, she continued, "She's the avatar. And basically, she can bend all four elements."

"WOAH!" Meelo's jaw was wide open. "THAT'S SO COOL!"

"Tell us more! Tell us more! Oh, please Jinora? Please, please, pleeeeeeeeease?" Ikki tilted her head and pressed the palms of her hands together. "Please?"

"Fine," Jinora reluctantly agreed.

Squealing with excitement, Meelo and Jinora promptly plopped onto the floor.

"So, this is what I know-"

~ One explanation of avatars, seven accounts of the great Aang and his various adventures with his companions, and fifteen more cookies later ~

"Korra! Korra! Korra! Korra!"

The Avatar turned around, only to find a boy trailing cookie crumbs behind him. "Is it true?"

Chuckling, she asked, "Is what true, kid?"

"That when Grandpa died, he became you and then the world exploded - like, KABOOSH! - and you could suddenly bend everything?! Like rocks? And water? And fire? And metal? And fish? And books? And people? And monsters? And spirits? And space? And..and...and..." Excitedly, Meelo flailed his arms about.

Korra quirked an eyebrow. Meelo farted in anticipation of her answer. Ruffling the guy's...head (well, come to think of it, it was completely impossible to ruffle some guy's head - or was it? But the matter still stands. She didn't ruffle it, per se. She simply...gave the kid a nice...head...massage. Yeah. That. Sure), she said, "Good imagination, kiddo. But if I could bend everything, I'd have been able to bend air by now."

And once again...enter Ikki.

"Korra! Korra! Korra! You should sit! It's bad for an old man's back!"

"I'm sorry, what-"

Pulling a chair out from seemingly nowhere Ikki smiled her most innocent smile...Then broke that innocence when she proceeded to barrage Korra with a flurry of questions. "How does it feel like to be reborn? Did it hurt? Can I do it too? Did you choose who you wanted to become? I mean, I wouldn't know. I've always been like this. Or have I? Can you tell what I used to be? Or if I ever was anything before? Gee, it would be cool if I used to be a bird or something. Wouldn't it? Wouldn't it? Did you know Grandma misses you? Shouldn't you sit down? I'm glad you moved out; wasn't the ice bad for your health? After all, you're old right? Well, Grandma's also old, but she's there too. Oh. Grandpa, now that you're back, I want to watch over what you eat. Can I? Since you used to be an airbender, you don't eat meat, right? Well, good. I'm pretty sure that isn't good for your cholesterol. Or was it? No, I'm pretty sure it's not. I don't even know what cholesterol is, actually. Anyway, tell me about your adventures. Jinora already told me some, but they're all so interesting. Like how you defeated Sozin without killing him. And how you met Grandma. And won't you tell me a story? Please...Won't you? Please? Please?"

"..." Korra hadn't even heard half of what that little girl said. Other than that part of her being a grandpa. And those couple dozen times Ikki called her old. Old? How was she old? Did she look old? Old enough to be a grandpa? Let alone a grandma? So, of course she had no answer, but when she stared back at the little girl, Korra immediately felt guilty.

"Uh...yes?"

"YAY!" Ikki squealed and jumped in the air. Korra already knew that she would regret this. "Tell me about the time when you met Auntie Toph!"

Korra blinked. Auntie Toph? Granted, everyone knew her, but very few actually knew her. Korra included. But, she didn't really want to disappoint, now did she? Especially when she had promised. "Well, I...uh..."

~ A couple of months later ~

"So, Grandpa Korra, how exactly did you meet Auntie Toph?"

Korra really wanted to slap that stupid I-Can't-Believe-You're-Stupid-Enough-To-Do-That smirk off of her boyfriend's face. And she really, really wanted to earthbend both Meelo and Ikki fifty feet into the sky for relaying that particular story. Except that they were under a roof. Tenzin's roof to be exact.

"Well, she told us that, 'When the world needed her most, she found Auntie Toph-' "

Korra banged her head against the table.

...I might add another chapter on how exactly Grandpa Korra met Auntie Toph.
